    Objective: Obesity represents a health risk and several studies have linked this clinical entity to cognitive deficits. Among the neuropsychological rehabilitation tools, Peak, a digital application, has shown positive results as a therapeutic method. The aim of this work was to measure, for the first time, cognitive deficits and the effects of Peak digital cognitive neurohabilitation therapy in patients diagnosed with obesity. Methods: Peak treatment was offered to the parents who agreed and lasted 6 months, including the neurocognitive evaluation. The patients used Peak five times a day for 20 min. The Neuropsychological Attention and Memory Battery (NEUROPSI) was applied before and after the intervention. Results: The results revealed posttest changes in attention and executive function, memory, and total attention and memory. Significant clinical changes were observed, and the diagnostic range increased from severe to moderate. Conclusions: We concluded that, through an intervention with the Peak app, it is possible to enable attention and memory, which represent the main cognitive deficits in obese pediatric patients. ©The authors ©Brain Sciences ©MDPI.

    Congenital heart disease is defined as an abnormality in the cardiocirculatory structure or function. Various studies have shown that patients with this condition may present cognitive deficits. To compensate for this, several therapeutic strategies have been developed, among them, the LEGO® Education sets, which use the pedagogic enginery to modify cognitive function by didactic material based on mechanics and robotics principles. Accordingly, the goal of this study was to evaluate the effect of cognitive habilitation by using LEGO®-based therapy in pediatric congenital heart disease patients. This was a quasi-experimental study; eligible patients were identified, and their general data were obtained. In the treatment group, an initial evaluation with the neuropsychological BANFE-2 test was applied; then, once a week, the interventions were performed, with a final test at the end of the interventions. In the control group, after the initial evaluation, a second appointment was scheduled for the final evaluation. Our results show that >50% of children presented cognitive impairment; nevertheless, there was an overall improvement in treatment patients, showing a significant increase in BANFE scores in areas related to executive functions. LEGO®-based therapy may be useful to improve cognitive abilities; however, future research should be performed to strengthen the data.
